Aims

To introduce the students to the theory and to the methods of analysis of linear signals and systems as well as to their use in engineering science.

Main themes

Theory and applications of the theory of signals and systems in continuous-time and in discrete-time.

Content and teaching methods

1. Signals - Systems - Convolutions - Distributions

2. Signals and systems in continuous-time
- Fourier transform (uni- and multi-dimensional) - Fourier series - Application to spectral analysis
- Laplace transform - Application to differential equations - Application to linear systems in continuous-time (transfer functions, causality, stability, ...)

3. Signals and systems in discrete-time :
- Sampling
- Z transform - Application to difference equations - Application to linear systems (transfer functions, causality, stability, ...)
- Discrete Fourier transform - Fast Fourier transform - Application to spectral analysis
